I can not believe how disturbing it is to read through the daily news that references Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to find story after story about veterans and their PTSD. "A veterans struggle to heal PTSD," "Documentary of PTSD in War," "How I Recovered From War," and the list goes on and on, repetitively, when reading the news feed. Shock horror media news agencies, veterans are a minority of the global population affected by PTSD, yet all you do is perpetuate PTSD association with veterans. Why? Let me take a rough guess at answering that question. Ignorance to what PTSD actually is, who it really affects, and pretty much everything about trauma and PTSD. There, I said it! The truth of the matter in relation to media being ignorant, biased, and down right stupid when it comes to researching facts versus sensationalistic content to wow the readers with, regardless of the truth.
